Tell Me What to Say

from Colorblind by Emily Sloan

/

lyrics

When I look to you
You look back at me:
Who do you see?
When you hold me you say:
"You don't have to worry."
Well, my love,
That's as may be.
But I can't close my worried mind.
And I can't do nothing but pass the time.
The minutes counting down,
Down, down...
When they go I hear no sound.

Darling, I've been running so long,
My feet might fail beneath me.
Still you say:
"You can walk with me."
The time to go is coming near.
Won't you tell me what might I find
At the summit of your fears.
It's coming closer day by day...
Oh, won't you tell me what to say?


Take me to the garden, tell me:
"Who do you see?
"The man who stands before you
"Or who you think he can be?"
Can we go on this way
When you tell me what to say?
Tell me what to say...

Twenty years of living
Really isn't so much time.
But a thousand years go past me
When you cross my mind.
Listen to me love:
Leave me be.
You will know I set you free.
